Sony DCR-SR52HDD camcorder

I was just about to buy a sony HDD camcorder from Amazon this morning, and have been trawling the reviews. I was interested in the Sony DCR-SR52 however 2 of the reviews slam it as being non compatible with macs???

Is this true? I always thought Sony and Mac were compatible camcorderwise..

Should I steer clear as they advise??

Can anyone recmend a good camcorder for use with a Mac? £300-400 to send
